The expression on her face grew thunderous, and her grip on the hilt of her blade tightened...only for a hand to land on her forearm. Izayoi jerked back in alarm, her blade almost reaching the throat of whoever had approached her before she realized it was merely the the sollan girl she'd been saddled with. Her eyes narrowed in response at the girl's words. What sort of simpleton did she take her for? [color=#736AFF][b]"I am aware."[/b][/color] Izayoi ground out in response, her eyes returning to the glowering soldier. [color=#736AFF][b]"However, that makes him useless for any purpose whatsoever. Now I have to keep questioning them until I find their leader."[/b][/color] The Emperor's Demon stared down at the man, nothing but venom in her gaze. [color=#736AFF][b]"Do you know what that means for you?"[/b][/color] She asked rhetorically, acting in the very next moment. Without warning, Izayoi punted the soldier in the jaw, jerking his head upward and exposing his throat. The tip of her sword plunged into the man's windpipe, ending his life in a spray of blood. Despite this, his killer still looked unsatisfied. [color=#736AFF][b]"Too quick for the likes of him. But we are short on time."[/b][/color] Izayoi spat, flicking blood off her blade as she turned to face the others. [color=#736AFF][b]"Well? What are we waiting for? There are still men of Valheim to slay tonight. Should we find their leader, leave him alive. For now. His rightful death can wait until we possess more information."[/b][/color]
